Re: *** Official Iowa State vs. Baylor Gameday thread ***

I really think a win here would be huge as long as we then take care of business at home. I think the Big 12 definitely gets five easily, and maybe six, and it would be great to have a sweep against whoever is close to us at the end.

1999-2000, last game of the regular season to clinch the Big 12 title.

Even the 2003-04 team, which you'll remember advanced to the NIT semis, couldn't beat Baylor in Drew's first season. And the 2005-06 team lost in Waco when Baylor wasn't allowed to play any non-conference games.

Winning tonight would be huge, as far as ISU's recent history is concerned.

This is the biggest reason why this is a huge game. If we knock off Baylor at their place, it puts them on the outside of the bubble.

Here's their remaining schedule:
@OU
@WVU
KSU
@Texas
KU

If we win tonight, they probably need to win 4 of those to make the tournament. And if they don't, we look better as it is doubtful that the Big 12 would ever only get 4 teams in.
